I don't know if my problem is similar or not, but here are the details: I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with latest updates.
At work, we use a proxy and we have an automatic script for that. This is handy so when I'm home, it does not find the script and no proxy is configured which is what I want. Anyway, I performed the above steps described in this bug report: configuration automatic proxy, applying it system wide, launching gnome-terminal and echoing $http_proxy or even $HTTP_PROXY. The result is that none of the env variables are defined! So many applications are broken: weather applet, wget, Update Manager, Ubuntu Software Centre, Eclipse, etc. actually it's easier to give the list of application working with this: Firefox and Chromium. So this bug is critical in my opinion! Or maybe the new bug that I would need to open if it is not directly related. ;-) -- Regression: "Automatic proxy configuration" + gnome-terminal now breaks apt-get, curl, wget... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433827 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
